A few highlights include the iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ with a self-emptying dock at Walmart and an Amazon bestseller that can spot pet poop, stay clear of stairs and ledges, and even plan cleanings on your smartphone. 1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ The Roomba Combo J5+ is the most recent 2-in-1 model from iRobot's high-end line that comes with mopping and vacuuming features. It's powered by iRobot OS, which helps it become smarter over time and creates a Smart Map of your flooring. This allows you to label rooms and make cleaning schedules as well in defining no-mop zones for your carpets. It makes use of vSLAM navigation and is able to see objects and obstacles thanks to iRobot's latest obstacle avoidance technology. It is also able to detect carpets of all kinds, from low-pile up to thick and adjust the cleaning mode accordingly. Similar to the iRobot Combo j7+, this model comes with Power-Lifting Suction and is designed for both vacuuming and mopping. It comes with a separate dirt bin and an additional mop/vacuuming bin that you can fill with liquid cleaner or water. The robot automatically switches from mopping to vacuuming mode depending on the contents of the bin. The Roomba Combo j5+ uses iRobot's Enhanced MVac Mode to deliver powerful dust suction, which leaves your floors sparkling clean. This mode also uses the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal to empty the robot's dirty bin, giving you a hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ also has an individual power button that lets you instantly switch between mopping and vacuuming. The iRobot Home App makes it simple to use and set up your robot. With just a few clicks, you can create a personalized cleaning plan for your whole home or just one room. You can also track your robot remotely and view its current status. You can even make use of your smartphone as an remote control to begin cleaning, or you can use your voice to command it. The iRobot Combo j5+ is compatible with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant. This allows you to connect your smart home devices. It comes with pet-safe P.O.O.P technology (Pet owner's official promise) which helps it steer clear of pet mess. This is a great choice for pet owners who would like the convenience of a robot vacuum and mop. 2. Shark ION The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model with lots of features. It has a long running time and does an excellent job of cleaning carpeted and unfinished floors. It's a great app that works well used with Alexa. It does not have the mapping capabilities and other advanced controls you will find in higher-priced competitors. This robotic vacuum has an extremely powerful motor that has a multi-surface brush roll that can reach into cracks and corners to ensure that your home is clean. It also has bumper sensors to can help avoid collisions, and the lower cliff detector that helps keep the robot from falling. It can also be programmed to run a specific room or set of rooms at scheduled intervals and is capable of resuming cleaning sessions that had been stopped midway through. The Shark ION is very effective in cleaning floors with no dirt. However, it is unable to remove pet hairs and other debris from carpeted surfaces. It is also prone to getting stuck under furniture. However, it does a decent job of avoiding obstacles, and it can run for a long time of up to 90 minutes. This robot's easy-to-use user interface is among its most appealing features. There's a round cleaning button on the top of the unit that you can press to begin the cleaning process, or you can use your phone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice command. The app will tell you how much battery is left and the current status of the vacuum. It will also inform you if the cleaning session has been completed or not. Another thing that a lot of customers liked about this robot is its ability to work with Alexa. It is easy to turn the vacuum on and off with the simple voice command and you can also utilize the app to set up cleaning times. The only issue we found with this robot is that it takes a little longer to charge than the other models that we've reviewed, and the two hand vac attachments aren't able to fit in the base and could be lost easily. 3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+ Apart from being a top-rated robotic vacuum in the market, this Samsung model can also be used as a home surveillance camera. It comes with a lens you can access via your smartphone and is designed to monitor the surrounding area of your home. You can even set up a timer for when you would like it to monitor your home while you are away. This is ideal if your pets shed or you need to be on the lookout for any intruders. Samsung Jet Bot AI+ comes with a number of features that include object recognition home monitoring, self-emptying dust bins and five layers of filtration. It's a great choice for those looking for an expensive model that excels at cleaning hard floors, but aren't afraid of the occasional dust that gets on carpets. One of the most impressive characteristics of this robot is its advanced obstacle avoidance. It uses sensors and artificial intelligence in combination to scan the surroundings and identify items. It can either navigate around the object or mark it as an unfriendly zone on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots, which makes the Samsung an extremely safe choice for your home. On the contrary this model isn't able to do very well at spot cleaning. We sent the robot to clean a carpet that had rice grains scattered over it. The machine did a poor job of pushing the rice grains around, and failed to take any of them. This is a disappointing outcome in light of the fact that other models did better in the test. It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a little pricey when compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums provide similar quality for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example, is a top-rated robotic vacuum that provides similar features for half the price. As with other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled by the SmartThings app. The setup process is easy with in-app prompts to guide you through the process. The app allows you to view the map, create cleaning schedules, alter suction, set no-go areas and manage other settings. It also shows you the current status of the robot as well as when the dustbin must be empty. 4. Manvins Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo This all-in-one vacuum is the perfect solution for those who aren't yet ready to purchase an individual robot vacuum or mop. It's currently available for half the cost and has four different cleaning modes. The vacuum dust container is easy to empty and the mopping tank can hold up to 200 milliliters (7 ounces). We tested this robot in our Cleaning Lab last year, and discovered that it was able to perform well on hard floors as well as carpet with a low pile. Its Matrix Clean Navigation, which uses a grid-like pattern to clean every corner of your home, can also recognize stairs. It also has the option of a remote control, which allows you to easily adjust the settings. It also works with voice commands. You can begin and stop a cleaning process by using an app for your tablet or phone. The app allows you to set a cleaning routine and choose a cleaning mode. The battery can last for up to 100 minutes and the robot automatically returns to its base to recharge after each cleaning session, or if the power is low. This robot vac-mop is a popular choice for busy families, and it's currently priced at a discount of more than 50% off the original price. It has a 4.5-star score from customers and has an intelligent cleaning system that uses three steps of cleaning to ensure your home stays thoroughly cleaned. It is able to detect pet hair and dander making it a great choice for households with pets. Modern robotic vacuums and mops are compatible with smartphones and apps. These applications allow you to save maps of your home and create custom cleaning programs, and even control the machine. Some models come with a smart mopping pad that can dry between use. This helps prevent mold or bacteria from growing on the floor. The compact design of the vacuum-mop combination enables it to fit in corners and under furniture, and its full suite of sensors gracefully keeps away from obstacles and steps. It is smartly integrated with apps and the mopping pad is equipped with triple HEPA filtering technology to prevent dust particles from entering the air in your home.
